Seeing her knock on the door and then be startled by a furious shout, the man knew that the situation seemed to be tilting in his favor.
"You're the one who brought me the book today. Why are you so slow? I've been waiting here for two hours. Do you even want to continue? Don't you know that a master alchemist's time is extremely precious?"
As soon as Pu entered the room, before he even saw anyone, he was immediately bombarded with insults. In the ensuing chaos, Lin Xueyin handed over the book she had been holding.
Only after a pair of wrinkled yet remarkably nimble hands took the old man from her could Lin Xueyin take a closer look at him.
Beneath his long, gray hair was an unkempt face, bearing the marks of time, just like his hands. Yet, his old eyes, which should have been cloudy, were remarkably bright.
"Honestly, what a waste of time. If you do this again, I'm going to complain." He carefully opened the book, turned to the pages he needed to know, and carefully looked at the contents.
A little bewildered by the reprimand, Lin Xueyin saw that the other person was completely absorbed in the book and had no intention of signing for it. Helpless, Lin Xueyin could only stand there and wait for the other person to come to their senses.
As she pondered, she noticed some formulas spread out on the table. Upon closer inspection, Lin Xueyin realized she could actually understand them; it seemed the alchemy knowledge here was interconnected with the alchemy knowledge in her game.
This discovery thrilled her. You see, although she didn't have many secondary professions, her life professions of chef and doctor were both at the maximum level. But she also had another secondary profession, alchemy, which she had also leveled up to the maximum level.
The Grandmaster-level alchemist was quite familiar with the virtual holy potion on the table.
Looking at the formulas inside, I quickly noticed something seemed wrong, and instinctively picked up a pen to make corrections.
The rustling sound of writing disturbed the old man who was engrossed in his book. He frowned and looked toward the source of the sound, a surge of rage erupting in his heart.
"You bastard, is that something you should be touching? Who gave you the courage? Whoever it is, I will make her pay the price."
Heartbroken over the formulas she had painstakingly written, Master Yusu hurried over and shoved aside the girl who was engrossed in alchemical formulas. She carefully picked up the papers filled with formulas that the girl had painstakingly written but had so casually scribbled over.
Volume Two, Academy Chapter Sixteen: A Less-than-Scientific Development
Pushing away this ignorant and foolish woman, the old man You Su stared intently at himself, whose image had been altered so much that only recognizable outlines remained.
He opened his mouth, about to say something more, but his eyes, after glancing at the formulas written by that damned woman, wouldn't leave her.
The formula frantically calculated in his mind, maximizing the balance between every possibility, the characteristics of every herb, and the use and utilization rate of magical items, even achieving the most perfect combination of medicinal effects.
The Virtual Holy Potion is extremely difficult to prepare even among the Potion Masters, and it's an enhanced version, a potent Virtual Holy Potion. I had painstakingly researched and reached this final step, only to have a little girl easily solve the biggest problem.
"Hey woman, did you really write this yourself?"
Standing there somewhat at a loss, Lin Xueyin timidly pointed to herself, the girl who thought she had caused trouble, feeling very uneasy.
Could it be that the alchemy in this world is different from that in her game world? With this thought in mind, Lin Xueyin looked at the old man again, filled with guilt.
"Yes, it was my own idea. Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I... I thought I could..."
"Hmph, what do you think? Come here quickly, let's continue our discussion. Do you think this kind of green lamp grass would have a better effect if it were processed with pure purple magic crystal powder?"
"Huh???" Shouldn't I be giving myself a good scolding? Why did my mood suddenly change?
"Hey what? Get over here right now. Don't you know an alchemist's time is precious?" His face was still fierce and menacing, but his tone softened slightly.
"Oh, oh." She carefully moved slowly towards that direction, but was suddenly grabbed and pulled away by the other person.
"This is such a hassle, can't you hurry up?" After saying this, she hurriedly handed over the paper that Lin Xueyin had modified, pointing to some formulas she didn't understand and asking questions.
"Why can't we use water-based magic crystals here? If the vessel gets too hot, the Green Lantern Grass will become crystalline, which could easily cause the alchemy to fail."
"You mean here? Look behind you, here..." Lin Xueyin said, pointing to a formula that the other person hadn't seen.
"The water lilies here are perfect for counteracting this kind of quality, and the properties of the water lilies themselves can also maximize the efficacy of this virtual holy potion."
The master alchemist's initial intention to discuss the matter gradually turned into a one-sided discussion and learning, with the alchemist even taking out a small notebook to write everything down.
Having completely forgotten their own identities, and even more so the identities of the other person, the two continued like this until the part where Lin Xueyin was pushed away. Because it was not finished, it had to be temporarily stopped.
"Well, this is the best we can do." Looking out at the sky, it was already dusk, the sun had set, and two moons of different colors reappeared in the sky.
"Well, I'll head back now."
"Go back? Aren't you..." Before he could finish speaking, he realized that the other person was just a librarian who had come to deliver books to him, not his apprentice, and not even a member of the magic tower.
"Master, I'll be going now." After a polite farewell, Lin Xueyin hurriedly left, completely forgetting what the two little girls had told her when she arrived: that these masters would give them some money for running errands so they could take a car back.
When Master Yusu heard the other person call him "master" again, his face suddenly hurt a little. Yes, it was the kind of pain that comes from being slapped dozens of times and stomped on hundreds of times.
Are librarians these days really this exaggerated? More powerful than me, an alchemy master? No, that can't be. She probably saw the recipe for this potion somewhere.
Although I did the research myself, who knows if someone else got ahead of her and found out? Besides, there are still some loose ends that haven't been written out yet; maybe they're still working on it.
With this in mind, Master Yusu was already thinking about what book he should ask this young girl to bring him next time, and also to ask her for advice. If she really had talent, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to take her as his apprentice.
Unaware that she had been set up for tomorrow as well, Lin Xueyin walked back to her dormitory again, pitifully looking back every few steps, while the other party made no attempt to chase after her and give her money.
Ugh, I should have known better than to leave in such a hurry. Why did I have to scribble and draw all that for no reason? In the end, I had to walk all the way back again. It's more than ten kilometers away! The Spire of the Alchemy Academy is considered a remote area within the academy.
Lin Xueyin could already foresee that she would break her legs from exhaustion, and she felt extremely wronged. Who was it that was so malicious towards her?
Starving, that's right, she didn't even have lunch at noon. She thought she could eat there, but after all sorts of things happened, she ended up in this state of extreme thirst and exhaustion, and her legs were completely worn out.
The night grew deeper, and the blood-red and bright silver full moon still hung high in the sky. Strangely, although the moonlight was of two colors, the light falling on the earth was still bright.
Lin Xueyin found it even stranger, especially when she looked at the two full moons in the sky. Unlike the moon on Earth, these two full moons always looked the same.
There's no such thing as a full moon or a waning moon. Forget it, the most important thing right now is to get back quickly. I haven't forgotten that I was assassinated before. Lin Xueyin, who cherishes her life very much, quickened her pace.
But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred. Lin Xueyin quietly looked at the dozen or so girls in magic robes blocking her path. She already knew they meant no good.
"Lin Xueyin, I've finally caught you red-handed. Let's see who can save you now."
"Hey, what do you want? This is an academy, don't go too far." Lin Xueyin, whose path was blocked by more than a dozen girls, remained calm. Looking at these fierce-looking women, her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised.
The calmer the other person appeared, the more annoyed they became. Looking at that irritatingly cute face, they wished they could slash it to pieces right then and there.
"It's nothing special, I just want to strip you naked and hang you on the flagpole so everyone can see your slutty body."
"Huh? Seriously, why are you doing this to yourselves? Women, why make things difficult for each other?" Lin Xueyin tried her best to persuade these misguided girls, but her good intentions were always misunderstood. Her concessions at this time were misinterpreted as weakness.
Volume Two: The Academy Chapter Seventeen: Demacia
One, two, three, four, five, six—counting carefully, there were about fifteen or sixteen people in front of him, all of them young female mages, exuding a menacing aura, as if they wanted to strangle him right there.
Holding the belief that a good man doesn't argue with a woman, Lin Xueyin still felt that she could talk to them properly again, and maybe she could get through to them in one go, right?
However, at this moment, the other party did not think so. On the contrary, they thought she was weak and easy to bully. They had already taken out their staffs, and a ferocious expression appeared on their otherwise pretty faces.
"You should sincerely repent for your actions."
The whistling wind forced Lin Xueyin to retreat. Seeing people using their staffs as clubs and even preparing magic to ambush her, her brows furrowed and a faint killing intent appeared on her delicate face.
"You brought this on yourselves."
With her modified attributes, Lin Xueyin was completely unafraid of her opponent's attacks. As she dodged, wind blades and fireballs rained down on her, leaving trails on the ground.
She clenched her small fist tightly and slammed it into the other person's face with all her might. The idea of not hitting someone in the face was all nonsense. The best outcome was that saliva and blood from the nose flew together, and screams and wails filled the air.
He punched the women lying on the ground one by one, and seeing their pathetic state with saliva and blood mixed together, he suddenly felt a sense of relief for some reason.
"Hmph, fighting? You guys? Go back and train for a few more years."
Lin Xueyin said coolly and turned to leave, but a surge of magical energy rose behind her. Frowning, Lin Xueyin instinctively turned around and shouted.
"Demacia..."
A massive golden lightsaber appeared in the sky and then brutally crashed down upon the people on the ground. A deafening explosion shattered the silence of the entire academy.
He clapped his hands as if he had done something insignificant, and with a cold laugh, he was about to turn and leave when he saw several figures already appearing behind him.
"These must be the legendary academy guards," Lin Xueyin thought, shrugging her shoulders as she looked at the suddenly appearing, fully armed soldiers, indicating that she was completely helpless.
"Arrest her first, then we'll deal with her slowly..."
"Wait." A clear, cold voice rang out just as the guards were about to arrest Lin Xueyin.
"Xueyin, I'm sorry I'm late."
As Irabell walked gracefully toward him, he felt a sudden sense of relief for some reason. Then he looked at the several academy guards standing guard beside him.
"What exactly happened? How did we end up in a conflict with these people?"
"How should I know why these people suddenly came here to ambush me, and even prepared to attack me with magic? It's all so inexplicable."
The guards looked at each other, indicating that the other side had all been knocked unconscious, and they could say whatever they wanted.
"Your Highness, no matter what, this matter has caused a huge uproar. The light can be seen throughout the entire capital. If we cannot investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid..."
With a slight frown, and glancing at Lin Xueyin who seemed indifferent, Irabel showed no sign of backing down.
"She will be in my room, ready to assist with your investigation at any time. However, I hope this matter can be resolved fairly and justly, not..."
Although the rest of the words were not spoken, the murderous intent they conveyed sent chills down the spines of the guards.
"follow me."
Irabell gently took Lin Xueyin's hand and followed the guards she had brought with her towards her dormitory.
"Um, Irabelle, how did you get here so quickly?" Lin Xueyin was a little confused as she was being pulled forward. How did she manage to find her way to such a remote place?
"You haven't come back yet, and I'm worried about you."
Lin Xueyin was surprised to see this usually aloof girl say such caring words, which made her feel flattered.
Meanwhile, the guards had laid all the unconscious people out in a row, looking at the noble ladies with expressions of helplessness.
Now things are really messed up. Who knows what might happen between the nobles and the royal family? It's easy to foresee what kind of chaos tomorrow will bring.
"Damn bastard, we actually got taken down by her alone..."
Opening his eyes and looking at the academy guards around him, he knew without asking that so many of them had come to confront that hateful woman, only to be brutally beaten.
Silently touching her slightly aching nose, she then helped each other up. Tonight's events were just the beginning, Lin Xueyin, don't think it's over yet.
The dozen or so girls kept the matter a secret, unaware that it had already spiraled out of control.
In a distant corner, a dark figure slowly appeared, seemingly having witnessed everything. The man, whose right eye was covered by a thick scar, watched the women's departing figures with a mocking smile.
The master's order was to prevent that girl from gaining a foothold in the human empire. Unexpectedly, a princess of the human empire has come to interfere. But it's alright. I don't believe that with so many nobles putting pressure on her, that girl won't be punished.
All of this seems to be orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, and these people are all targeting Lin Xueyin. At this moment, the girl, who has already returned to the dormitory with Irabelle, is being tightly cornered on the bed, her fair, long, and alluring legs curled up, timidly looking at the princess staring at her.
"That lightsaber you just used was a spell you used, right? I remember that holy priests don't have many offensive spells, and that lightsaber wasn't one of them. Can you tell me who you learned it from?"
"Um, well, hahaha, I actually created it myself."
Faced with the other person's "Do you really believe me?" look, Lin Xueyin forced a dry laugh and finished her sentence. She scratched her head in distress, indicating that she really couldn't make up any more stories. Should she tell her that she learned all her skills from the skill tree that was bound to her soul, and that she still didn't know what kind of system the Holy Priest existed in this world?
